I heard from others that the front vents are for the brakes but on my 2017 Civic HB ST, the passenger side is actually open but the driver side is covered with a smooth cover and it says " Do not paint" and I'm just curious of why this is? Is this part of the ACC radar system?

The smooth shiny black cover is where the millimeter-wave radar sensor for the ACC is hiding.

Ah, so is this where I can gain access to replace that awful sound for a horn?

somebody replaced the horn on the HB through wheel arch and bumper grille, without removing the whole bumper. On the sedan is not possible
